The Katons arrived in an interstellar transport ship three years ago. Ten thousand of them. All needing a place to integrate into society. I was about to meet one of them. I’d applied for the government program to be a companion for a Katon. They were human appearing in most ways, but had a simple manner and needed homes. When the bus dropped me off at the Kat Café where I would meet with prospects, there were several other men who had their numbers drawn by the central database for the lottery this week, and we were all ushered inside for an orientation meeting. We were told that while ...

I left my clan’s village a few days ago. I took nothing but the clothes that I wore, the wooden sword that I had carved myself, and a sharpened piece of flint. I didn’t have a cloak to sleep in until later, when I had worked enough to have a few coins buy one. In fact, I didn’t even have a name. I was an Adventurer Monk, a novice, trained by my father and grandfather, but now on my own. My name and my fortune would come as I made them for myself. And that would start in the next thirty heartbeats. My profession was to kill monsters, rescue damsels in distress, and protect the innocent...

When I get to the estate, I'll sit in my grandfather’s study watching the beloved old man’s Last Will and Testament. He has some very specific requests of me as his sole heir. They involve me marrying a young woman who, contrary to my families' previous assumptions, was absolutely not Grandpa’s...

Sitting here on the beach, I could see my now useless glider plane, various bits of driftwood and debris, and a girl with long black hair, about a hundred and fifty feet away. The girl was new. She hadn’t been there for the past three days, the way that everything else had. I was sitting under a tree looking out at the ocean. It was probably the Pacific Ocean. I didn’t know for sure. When she got closer, she called out, but not loudly. It sounded something like, “Aquilala soma towatsina.” Or something like that. I didn’t understand a word of it. It was a nice language, though. I ...

Victoria stood on the ledge known as Suicide Cliffs and stared down at the raging surf and jagged rocks below. Next to her stood Professor Mark Veno, a mysterious visitor to Collinwood.

My name is Ronin. This is the third book of my life as an Adventurer Monk. So far, I’ve made a name for myself locally and established a house with wonderful mates. Today, the 311-year-old Elf-Woman, The White Falcon, appeared and says that she will join us. She was a surprise. 311 looks good on a strong-blooded Elf. This should be an adventure in itself.

At least four of us, and possibly five now, are Adventurers...
